Chapter 269 She suspected there was something wrong with the office.

Chi Yanzhou was afraid that things might be wrong, or that it was some kind of trap set by someone else to lure Xia Yuhuan into it.

Not to mention the possibility of getting hurt during this period, if she ends up feeling happy for nothing, the psychological impact on Xia Yuhuan would be enormous.

He couldn't bear to see her get hurt.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Today, Uncle Zhuang brought someone to see me, saying that he was a good friend of his and that he was seeking medical treatment for his friend's lover."

"But it turned out that I looked exactly like his friend's lover. Coincidentally, that person had fallen off a cliff and was picked up by his friend. The resemblance was too great, which aroused suspicion."

Xia Yuhuan recounted the events of the day to Chi Yanzhou in detail.

Chi Yanzhou was also extremely surprised after hearing this.

The connections and relationships in this world are truly beyond the simple explanation of words.

The whole thing with Xia Yuhuan is just too much of a coincidence.

"I have already sent them to the capital to find me. Once I meet them, I will know the details."

"But if she really has mental problems, she probably won't recognize you then."

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t recognize her. If she really looks as much as Fang Zhinian said, then we are most likely mother and daughter.”

"Although Xia Jianyong is a scumbag and a piece of trash, she is a good person and did not do anything wrong."

"Moreover, she was tricked out by Xia Jianyong because she was looking for me, and that's how the accident happened."

“If I didn’t know she existed, I could naturally pretend she was dead and ignore her completely.”

"But now that we know, we have to find a way to save her."

“Although she didn’t raise me, it wasn’t her wish. She didn’t wrong me, and I should be filial to her,” Xia Yuhuan said calmly.

Although she experienced a lack of family affection in both of her lives.

But this doesn't mean she's a person without feelings or understanding of family affection.

Whether it was her grandfather from her previous life, the memories of the original owner in this life, or Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang, they all showed her through their actions what family is and how to love a family member.

“I know, and I didn’t object. I was just too surprised before, so I asked,” Chi Yanzhou said immediately.

“If it is confirmed that she is your biological mother, then she is my mother-in-law, and I should be filial to her.”

"Actually, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to..."

Xia Yuhuan's voice grew softer and softer.

Seeing the obvious coldness on Chi Yanzhou's face, she dared not speak.

"Ayu, you are my lover, your mother, and also my mother. What do you mean by saying this? Do you want to clarify things with me?"

"No, I misspoke," Xia Yuhuan said, her survival instincts kicking in.

Although it was just an instinctive reaction, she absolutely couldn't admit it at a time like this.

If he admitted it, who knows how furious Chi Yanzhou would get.

“That would be best, otherwise… heh…” Chi Yanzhou sneered.

Even though he was angry, Chi Yanzhou didn't stop wiping Xia Yuhuan's hair.

Even though he had accidentally hurt her before, his hand was very steady now, and the force had not changed at all.

Clearly, he really cares about her.

Xia Yuhuan shuddered involuntarily as she heard his threatening snort.

She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Ayan, do you have any knowledge of counter-surveillance?"

"Counter-surveillance? What's wrong? Is someone following you?" Chi Yanzhou asked immediately.

"It wasn't stalking, I just felt something was off," Xia Yuhuan said.

"You remember my colleague Zhou Shizui, right?"

"I remember, we came out of the hospital together yesterday. What happened? What did he do this time?"

Xia Yuhuan had always been wary of Zhou Shizui, and Chi Yanzhou had already begun investigating him, so it was still somewhat strange that Xia Yuhuan suddenly brought up Zhou Shizui.

“I left the hospital with her again today,” Xia Yuhuan said.

"He waited for you on purpose?" Chi Yanzhou asked, frowning.

“I think so, but I have no proof,” Xia Yuhuan said.

Chi Yanzhou frowned.

Xia Yuhuan told Zhou Shizui how he had helped her when she moved offices.

He then said, "I think he must have done something to my office that day, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to monitor the time I left so precisely."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou's expression darkened: "I'll take you to work tomorrow and go to your office with you."

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly and agreed.

Seeing that Chi Yanzhou remained silent, Xia Yuhuan said, "Don't worry too much. Maybe I'm just imagining things."

Chi Yanzhou gently shook his head: "I just feel that it's not safe for you to be watched like this."

"I don't know what's wrong with Zhou Shizui this week. Why is he staring at me like that? It's really bad luck." Xia Yuhuan was also annoyed.

Seeing that her brows were furrowed, Chi Yanzhou leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Alright, stop frowning. I'll go to your office with you tomorrow to check."

"Mmm." Xia Yuhuan responded, no longer thinking about what hadn't happened yet, and lay on the bed, letting Chi Yanzhou dry her hair.

Seeing that her eyes were closed, Chi Yanzhou stopped talking to her and gently and meticulously wiped her hair.

By the time Chi Yanzhou finished drying her hair, Xia Yuhuan was already fast asleep.

Chi Yanzhou casually placed the damp towel on the bedside table and then picked up Xia Yuhuan and laid her down on the pillow.

He had intended to get up and wash the towel.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhuan turned her head uncomfortably, rolled over, and hugged him tightly.

She snuggled against him, found a comfortable spot, and drifted off to sleep.

Chi Yanzhou was satisfied with her trust and intimacy.

A faint smile appeared on his lips. He lost all interest in getting up to wash the towel and simply held Xia Yuhuan in his arms, falling asleep with her.

The next morning, the two went out for some exercise together, and then went to the military hospital together.

Xia Yuhuan led Chi Yanzhou toward the office.

When she runs into colleagues on the street, they all greet her with a smile.

"Director Xia, is this your spouse?"

"Director Xia is good-looking herself, and her husband is just as handsome. They are a perfect match."

"I really envy Director Xia. Her husband is so handsome and treats her so well. How can anyone find such a wonderful lover?"

Xia Yuhuan responded to everyone's greetings with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, it's my lover."

"Yes, my partner treats me very well."

Xia Yuhuan could naturally guess some of the gossip that people were having behind her back.

When they turned their backs to everyone, Xia Yuhuan whispered to Chi Yanzhou, "Sure enough, handsome people have special privileges. They couldn't be more welcoming to you."

Chi Yanzhou chuckled: "It's the same whether Ayu is beautiful or not."

The two entered the office while chatting and laughing.

Unbeknownst to them, after they entered the office, a person emerged from the corner at the end of the corridor.

It is the most important time of the week.

He glanced at the closed door of Xia Yuhuan's office, then silently left without attracting anyone's attention.
